Modify Dimension Set Entry table through code

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Alzack18 65

Hi

I want to edit dimensions for my salesLine. I found that each line has relation to Dimension Set Entry. I wrote code to modify that record, but I don't have permission to modify Dimension Set Entry table. I already added all admin permission to my user, but it doesn't helps.

What should I do?


My code:

DimensionToChange.SetRange("Dimension Set ID", SalesLines."Dimension Set ID");
DimensionToChange.SetRange("Dimension Code", 'TYPE');
DimensionToChange.Find('-');
DimensionToChange."Dimension Value Code" := 'SALES';
DimensionToChange.Modify;

    Glad you got it working through the DimensionManagement codeunit!

    Keep up the good work!

    RE: Modify Dimension Set Entry table through code

    Thank you for helpful tips. Problem solved using CodeUnit "DimensionManagement"!

    I had problem, that after adding new Dimension and changing SalesLines."Dimension Set ID" I was losing rest dimensions on that line.

    Solution was to use: DimManagement.GetDimensionSet(TempDimSetEntry, SalesLines."Dimension Set ID");

    to store all dimensions.

    This topic was helpful: community.dynamics.com/.../801556

    My actual code:

    codeunit 50101 "Before Post Validation"
{
    Permissions = tabledata "Dimension Set Entry" = RM;
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::CodeUnit, Codeunit::"Sales-Post (Yes/No)", 'OnBeforeConfirmSalesPost', '', false, false)]
    local procedure OnBeforeConfirmSalesPost(var SalesHeader: Record "Sales Header"; var HideDialog: Boolean; var IsHandled: Boolean; var DefaultOption: Integer; var PostAndSend: Boolean)
    var
        SalesLines: Record "Sales Line";
        Dimensions: Record "Dimension Set Entry";
        TempDimSetEntry: Record "Dimension Set Entry" temporary;
        DimManagement: Codeunit DimensionManagement;
    begin
        SalesLines.SetRange("Document No.", SalesHeader."No.");
        SalesLines.SetRange("Document Type", SalesHeader."Document Type");
        SalesLines.SetRange(Type, "Sales Line Type"::"G/L Account");
        SalesLines.SetRange("No.", '1234');

        if SalesLines.FindSet() then begin
            repeat
                Dimensions.SetRange("Dimension Set ID", SalesLines."Dimension Set ID");
                Dimensions.SetRange("Dimension Code", 'SPECIFICCODE');

                if Dimensions.Find('-') then
                    if (Dimensions."Dimension Value Code" = '123')
                    or (Dimensions."Dimension Value Code" = '1234') then
                    begin
                        DimManagement.GetDimensionSet(TempDimSetEntry, SalesLines."Dimension Set ID");

                        TempDimSetEntry.Init();
                        TempDimSetEntry.Validate("Dimension Code", 'MYCODE');
                        TempDimSetEntry.Validate("Dimension Value Code", 'MYVALUE');
                        
                        if not TempDimSetEntry.Insert then
                            TempDimSetEntry.Modify;

                        SalesLines.Validate("Dimension Set ID", DimManagement.GetDimensionSetID(TempDimSetEntry));
                        SalesLines.Modify;
                    end;
            until SalesLines.Next() = 0;
        end;
    end;
}

    RE: Modify Dimension Set Entry table through code

    If i understand you correctly then what you want to do is under certain conditions to change the dimension for one or more lines on your sales Lines.

    To do that you should change the Dim set ID on the sales line. And to get the correct value for the dim set id you should use the function in the DimensionManagement codeunit called GetDimensionSetID

    That takes a temporary Dimension Set Entry table as parameter and returns the corresponding Dimension Set ID.

    Once a dimension set is created you should never change the dimensions or dimension values combinations  that the dimension set  is build from.

    A tip is to set the Dimension set ID to -1 one the temporary records you pass into the GetDimensionSetID function.

    I have a code sample somewhere. I will post it here as soon as i find it.

    Inge M. Bruvik thank you for response.

    Can you please indicate which function I should use to achieve the same as with my code?

    That is, edit the record that has the "Dimension Code" equal to the indicated value and set the "Dimension Value Code" on it.

    Best regards

    You should avoid coding directly in that table. All changes to the dimension sets should be done using the DimensionManagement codeunit. If not you run a risk of compromising the integrity of your transactions and your dimension data.

    This Dim. management codeunit should have every function you need to work with dimensions sets in a safe way.
